Wireless network infrastructure
View all tagsInterfaces in NetBox represent network interfaces used to exchange data with connected devices. On modern networks, these are most commonly Ethernet, but other types are supported as well. IP addresses and VLANs can be assigned to interfaces.

NetBox releases are numbered as major, minor, and patch releases. For example, version 3.1.0 is a minor release, and v3.1.5 is a patch release. Briefly, these can be described as follows:
Just as NetBox provides robust modeling for physical cable plants, it also supports modeling wireless LANs and point-to-point links.
Wireless LAN groups can be used to organize and classify wireless LANs. These groups are hierarchical: groups can be nested within parent groups. However, each wireless LAN may be assigned only to one group.
A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel, identified by its SSID and authentication parameters. Wireless interfaces can be associated with wireless LANs to model multi-acess wireless segments.
A wireless link represents a connection between exactly two wireless interfaces. Unlike a wireless LAN, which permit an arbitrary number of client associations, wireless links are used to model point-to-point wireless connections.
